A little coastal.
A little everyday.

Clothes to live in. Lunches to look forward to. Hobbies that make a day feel like yours.
Welcome to life off duty.

Meet Alyssa

There’s a whole life
after the bell.

I’m Alyssa, a third-grade teacher, Cape Cod girl, and enthusiastic hobby collector. This is my corner for coastal style, everyday lunches, and the little things I’m loving along the way.

You’ll find my videos on TikTok, everyday moments on Instagram, and my finds on ShopMy. Blue is usually involved.
